On Friday night at the Robin Park Arena, Wigan, England Andy Bell faced Lee Haskins in a British Super Flyweight title contest on a Frank Maloney promoted fight night billed as "The Explosive Thin Men!" Bell was making his first defence of the title he won in March against Stoke's Chris Edwards.

Bellie, aka "The Iceman", enters the ring wearing Doncaster colours of red and white alongside trainer Matt Scriven, who is himself a pro boxer. Haskins - fighting out of Chris Sanigar's gym in Bristol - has won 17 of his 19 contests.

Just inside the first minute of round one, both men land on the floor in a wrestling type move. Little did we know that this would be the first of many wrestling falls thought out this contest.

Haskins has the more open-style of boxing, leaving the upper part of his body exposed and flicking the straight right up his taller opponent's head. Both men land on the canvas again in a tangled bundling over - but Bell reaches down with both gloves to help his opponent up off the canvas. A messy first round. More...

It was a lively crowd that packed the Metrodome in Barnsley, England last night for the Frank Maloney promoted fight night billed as ‘Northern Rock !’

A full fight-card of eleven exciting contests was to be headlined by Stokes’ Chris Edwards making his first defence of the British Super Flyweight title against the younger Andy Bell of Doncaster.

Edwards won the ‘new’ belt from Jamie McDonnell in December and last night faced the taller Bell - who already held the English Super Flyweight title.

Andy ‘Ice-Man’ Bell looked ‘ice-cool’ as he made his entrance to the ring first, as the challenger. Edwards, flanked by the Impact Boxing Team and stable-mate Scott Lawton, entered the ring to the sounds of “I Predict A Riot!” More...

Tonight at the Barnsley Metrodome in Barnsley, England, super flyweight Andy Bell aims to succeed where fellow Doncaster native Jamie McDonnell failed by beating Chris Edwards to become the first British champion to hail from the South Yorkshire town since Jon Jo Irwin was the domestic featherweight ruler back in the late 1990s.

The bill has dubbed "Northern Rock" by promoter Frank Maloney and is televised live by Sky Sports.

31 year old Edwards, from Stoke, won the inaugural 115 Ib Lonsdale belt last December by narrowly squeezing past McDonnell and it was a result that greatly astounded Andy Bell.

He told local press: "To be honest I thought that Jamie would beat Edwards and I was surprised that he didn't. I went to Wigan on the night and I felt Jamie boxed the wrong fight. Apart from experience, Jamie looked to have everything in his favour. But Edwards was in the great shape and he kept going for the full 12 rounds."

Edwards, a pro fighter for almost ten years, didn’t have the greatest of starts in the paid ranks. After winning by second round knockout out on his debut, the little man from the Potteries didn’t taste victory again for over two and a half years.

A lot fighters would have turned in the game but, in the mould of Steve Robinson and Johnny Nelson, he’s shown great determination and achieved things that many people thought would be simply beyond him. He’s going to have to give his all tonight if he wants to hang on to the position he has worked so hard to acquire. More...

Stoke’s 31 year old British super-flyweight champion Chris Edwards put the finishing touches to his training schedule last night with a light run and is now relaxing before the first defence of his title on Friday night.

Edwards became the first Potteries based boxer to secure a Lonsdale belt for 85 years when he defeated Jamie McDonnell in Wigan last December. At Barnsley’s Metrodome on Friday night he will face Nottingham’s Andy Bell, the current English super-flyweight champion, in a twelve round defence of his title. More...

This Friday, March 28, 2008 sees Chris Edward's first defense of the newest title in British boxing, the super flyweight, against English titlist Andy Bell at the Metrodome in Barnsley, England. This fight between the smallest active champion in Britain has caught the public's imagination and the venue is already 85 percent sold out on a bank holiday weekend.

Honest hardworker Edwards has risen from the ranks of journeymen in similar fashion to current British bantamweight champion Ian Napa and will give 110 percent to outwork the taller, more skillful Andy Bell, who has been sparring in Tenerife with super bantamweight prospect Danny Wallace. More...
